Apparently, Kelan decided that sleeping is for the birds. He cat napped all last night, which means yours truly didn't get any sleep at all. I finally gave up around 2:30 this morning and stuck him in the broken swing as he tends to fuss less while in that than while I'm trying to rock him in my arms (possibly because the motion is more constant as my arms tire quickly from whatever movement I'm making and I change from rocking to patting to jiggling and back again). Unfortunately, because it's broken, I had to stay up all night, giving it a push every 30 seconds or so to keep it going.

His timing couldn't be worse. One, it's a Monday, so I wasn't depending on having Jeff around to help. Thankfully, Jeff came down at 3:30 when he woke up to get ready and, after discovering my plight, offered to stay home today. Two, I volunteered to help a staff member at Kadie's school set up for an art display. I'm the only one she got involved so it's not like there will be someone for her to fall back on if I welsh on the deal. It's from 12:30 to 2:30 this afternoon, so (best case scenario...if Kelan doesn't go to sleep and I have to wait for Jeff to get back from dropping Kadie off at school), I'll get about 2 hours of sleep this morning before I have to get up and get ready.
